As usual, the international auction house Sotheby’s holds spring auctions in April and May every year, and will tour previews in major cities around the world before the official auction. It is already the preview stage, but due to the flight and transportation restrictions in various countries to prevent the continued spread of the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic, it is already an impossible task to immediately exhibit in various countries, not to mention that people are now trying to avoid going out and gathering in groups. Therefore, Sotheby’s 2020 Spring Auction “Important Watches” has been announced to be postponed to June and July. In addition, a series of themed online watch auctions will be launched from April 1 through the new “Watches Weekly” plan. Rolex Paul Newman Daytona, model 6263. Made for Mahamtom Bin Rashid Al <aktoum around 1975. The watch has a diameter of 37.5mm and a stainless steel case. Equipped with a 727 movement. Pre-auction estimate: HK$1,600,000-2,400,000.
A series of auctions under the Watches Weekly project will be held one after another, each lasting a week before the next auction begins. The first auction will be held from April 1 to 8, with 19 Rolex and Audemars Piguet watches up for online bidding. From April 8 to 15, Patek Philippe and from April 15 to 22, Swiss Wristwatches will follow.
